wouldnt be so bad if it werent a made up story about a real painter full of fake paintings posing to be his.
A beautiful film about one of the most passionate artists of all time. Breathtaking images and music.
I actually was falling asleep when I was watching this movie, but from what I remember it was interesting...
Modigliani is slow, shamefully cliched and disjointed as a cubist portrait. Full Review
Thanks to writer-director Mick Davis, the film, like its subject, dies young.
It's hard to take this oddball movie seriously, right down to the undisguised streetwise-American accent of Andy Garcia as the Italian Jew Amedeo Modigliani. Full Review
The best and maybe the only use to be made of the catastrophic screen biography Modigliani is to serve as a textbook outline of how not to film the life of a legendary artist. Full Review
Sadly, instead of situating the l'amour fou in the artistic ferment of the period (1917-1920), Davis twists the period to fit the story. Full Review
It is a tidy stack of snapshots, unencumbered by a point of view. Full Review
Modigliani may have been noted for his drunken volatility and arrogance, but once you get a dozen years or so of Behind the Musics and E! True Hollywood Stories behind you, it's hard to get worked up ... Full Review
Failing to invest famous characters with the depth to break free of a made-for-TV feel, earnest misfire does make one want to read up on the real Modigliani. Full Review
Both Modi and Jeanne are genuinely tragic figures. But the movie so trivializes them as adolescents, lacking control of their own emotions, that their tragedy never takes hold.
